Abstract:
We describe a surgical technique to repair medial meniscus posterior root tears through a transtibial pullout repair with a subcortical button for tibial fixation. This technique allows progressive tensioning of the repaired root without losing tension both during suturing of the knots above the button and after the procedure, owing to the specific button configuration.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
